Mr Burkhardt said the engineer in question initially insisted he’d applied the hand brakes, but inquiries had revealed that that wasn’t the case. He said the man had now been suspended without pay.

Dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was led into the court, handcuffed and shackled.

Egypt’s state prosecutor has issued an arrest warrant for the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood Mohamed Badie and a number of other senior figures in the movement. They are accused of inciting violence near a military barracks in Cairo Monday that left more than 50 people dead-- the majority of them supporters of the ousted President Mohammed Morsi, who’s from the Brotherhood. The Islamists have rejected the accusation. Here’s Lyse Doucet.

埃及国家检察长向穆斯林兄弟会领袖Mohamed Badie及该组织其他多名高级人物发布通缉令。他们被控周一在开罗一处军营附近煽动暴力，导致50多人丧生，其中多为被废总统穆罕默德穆尔西的支持者，穆尔西也是兄弟会成员。这些穆斯林否认该指控，Lyse Doucet报道。

For decades there has been a basically struggle between the Muslim Brotherhood and the military. They really do not trust each other and when you talk to people now about what happened when Mohammed Morsi was in power, it was clear that that kind of antagonism continued. But the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood top people are now being taken in for planning criminal acts on that day when it was the security forces that opened fire, it really gives a sense that this is a crackdown against the Muslim Brother even though the military and civilian authorities are denying that.

几十年来，穆斯林兄弟会和军方就一直在斗争。他们互不信任，如果问人们，穆罕默德穆尔西在位时都发生了什么，显然就是敌对的继续了。但事实上，目前兄弟会的高级人物已因策划犯罪行径被捕，且事发当天是安全部队开的枪，这就让人感到，尽管军方和民事当局都不承认，事实上穆斯林兄弟会在遭受镇压。
